quote:
ORIGINAL: tweakabelle * Your repeated claims that black South Africans are committing genocide against whites in today's South Africa; I recall the subject, though "repeated claims" is an obvious exaggeration because I can't even remember when it came up and don't recall it ever being a subject that achieved repeated attention. I also fail to see how a conclusion of racism follows. What difference does it make who's killing them? Or do you deny that they're being killed at all? Rural White South Africa: Afraid, and Armed ~New York Times South Africa farm attacks on the rise ~Reuters South Africa ~Genocide Watch: South Africa quote:
ORIGINAL: tweakabelle * Your repeated opposition to any measure, program or policy to counter racism or to remedy the wrongs of the past, bar the absolute minimal Civil Rights legislation of the 60s. Your position seems to be that this legislation levelled the racial playing field for all, and that racism as a serious issue disappeared after the passage of this legislation; Links or this one is a throw-away. I have no idea what measures you're referring to, and I'll thank you to not make up my positions for me. I'll say, however, that I don't think race is the principal factor holding blacks back, or for that matter that they are helpless souls in need of white social justice warriors to defend and save them. How that is "racist" escapes me. quote:
ORIGINAL: tweakabelle * Your vocal and repeated antipathy towards any mention of race as a significant factor in the inferior social position of blacks in today's USA. I cannot recall you mentioning a single incident of racism against blacks (or other minority groups) yet you find excuses to repeatedly post claims of racism against whites, even starting threads on this precise theme; I don't know what claims you're referring to, unless they were in the context of rejecting the proposition that only whites can be racist. Is there something "racist" about that? quote:
ORIGINAL: tweakabelle * Your passionate defence of flying the Confederacy flag and your absolute denial that it was a symbol of racism; In my opinion, and not mine alone, the Confederate Battle Flag is not a symbol of "racism," and then there's the matter of Free Speech, which matters more to me than your opinion. quote:
ORIGINAL: tweakabelle * Your unsupported claim of rape by refugees in Europe in this thread, a favourite inflammatory trope used by racists everywhere to justify their hate; Hamm, Germany: Two Iraqi asylum-seekers rape an 18-year-old behind a school. Karlsruhe, Germany: A Tunisian asylum-seeker rapes a 20-year-old woman. Bad Kreuznach, Germany: Two Somali asylum seekers sentenced for raping a 21-year-old woman. Munich, Germany: A 30-year-old Somali asylum seeker sentenced for attempting to rape a 20-year-old woman. Munich, Germany: A 25-year-old Senegalese asylum seeker attempts to rape a 21-year-old woman. Straubing, Germany: A21-year-old Iraqi asylum seeker is sentenced for raping a 17-year-old girl. Alzenau, Germany: A 29-year-old asylum seeker arrested for attempted rape of a 14-year-old girl. Kirchheim, Germany: Two Afghan asylum seekers sentenced for the rape of a 21-year-old woman. Stralsund, Germany: A 28-year-old Eritrean asylum sentenced for raping a 25-year-old woman. Reisbach, Germany: A 27-year-old Somalian asylum seeker arrested after attempting to rape multiple women. Dresden, Germany: A 24-year-old Moroccan immigrant rapes a 29-year-old woman. quote:
ORIGINAL: tweakabelle * Your recent attempts to minimise and excuse the lynchings of blacks in the US. Your repugnant claim that "not all the blacks were innocent" has struck in my mind. Implying that racist lynchings were justified is not a position any one who is anti-racist could consider, let alone adopt for a nanosecond. Again you are misrepresenting my position, stated in full below, by quoting six words out of context, and quoting them incorrectly in the bargain because you obviously don't know what you're talking about. Disparities in data disaggregated by race are not evidence of disparities due to race. In social data disaggregated by race, race is an unavoidably overloaded proxy for multiple other factors. Until you identify them and control for them, you cannot say how much of the disparity (if any at all) is due to race qua race. Now the so-called "racist" post... What is it then? About 4000 black people hanging from trees is prima facia evidence of what? If it is not racism what is it? Except that the vast majority of lynchings were carried out as extrajudicial punishments, and "4000 black people hanging from trees" is a dishonest account of them. About a third as many whites were lynched too, and the blacks weren't all innocent. quote:
ORIGINAL: tweakabelle * Your repeated attempts to defend the 'right' of bigots to their hate speech, and the 'right' of the religious to discriminate against any minority group they chose on religious grounds. Granting that I support freedom of speech, I don't know what "repeated" defenses of "bigots" you're talking about and the rest is simply an outright lie: There is of course the detail that freedom of religion is freedom of conscience, not conduct; freedom to believe as you will, not to act as you will. There is no defensible religious reason in Christianity for refusing to serve a gay person quote:
ORIGINAL: tweakabelle the pattern is very clear and consistent Well I can certainly agree with you there, but the real pattern here isn't the one you think. quote:
ORIGINAL: tweakabelle You are a racist. If you don't like being called a racist, the onus is on you to change your ways and show us that you aren't. I hope that you have sufficient moral courage to take that step. No, I am not. But you are a liar, about which you clearly have no moral qualms in the first place. K.
